Aug-23-64. Filmed from the audience by a newsreel crew, the camera occasionally pans across the audience to fully document Beatlemania at its peak.

Songs include: "Twist and Shout," "You Can't Do That," "All My Loving," "She Loves You," "Things We Said Today," "Roll Over Beethoven," "Boys," "A Hard Day's Night" and "Long Tall Sally."
